I suppose as the guy said onscreen, it depends on Chambers' constitution, in some cases the Pupillage committee's decision must be final - although hard to imagine that many barristers would stand for not having some sort of a say.

I think it will happen more and more unfortunately because, with thousands of unpractising barristers quite frankly it can.

That chambers rejected me. If I was in the position I would grovel grovel grovel. Because I am under no illusion that pupillage and the early years on tenancy will be truly fagging in the old fashion boarding school sence. Good luck to those of you who believe its so inferior you wouldnt have to go to such a chambers!!!
